I am looking for information on my ancestors. William Hughes was a Private,
Sergeant and Captain in the Virginia Militia of the Revolutionary War. His
wife's name was Mary Sampson Hughes. He died in Lincoln County on November 14, 1834.
I am trying to document my ancestry for DAR. Also, I would appreciate any
information on Burkett (Birkitt) Hughes which was William's first born.
He married Celia Mounce in Garrard County December 27, 1797. Celia was a
daughter of Mathias Mounce (Mounts). Any information would be greatly appreciated.
